As protesters gathered in Kuala Lumpur demanding the resignation of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim yesterday, some 350km to the north, Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak was awarded the Darjah Panglima Pangkuan Negeri, which carries the title “Datuk Seri”.

The award ceremony took place at Dewan Sri Pinang, George Town, in conjunction with the 84th birthday celebration of Penang Governor Ramli Ngah Talib.
